hair cells, vestibular (medicine) and Pain (health)


hair cells, vestibular (medicine)


hair cells, vestibular
Mechanoreceptors located in the acoustic maculae and the saemicircular canals that mediate the sense of balance, movement, and head position. The vestibular hair cells are connected to accessory structures in such a way that movements of the head displace their stereocilia. This influences the membrane potential of the cells which relay information about movements via the vestibular part of the acoustic nerve to the brainstem.


Pain (health)


An unpleasant sensory or emotional experience primarily associated with tissue damage, or described in terms of tissue damage, or both.
